Did Earth Create the Moon? Research Uncovers Clues About Lunar Formation
Recent findings from the University of Göttingen and the Max Planck Institute challenge previous theories about the moon's formation. The study reveals that the moon was largely created from material ejected from Earth's mantle, not from the protoplanet Theia. Additionally, it offers new perspectives on the origin of water on Earth, suggesting tha...

Researchers Study Dark Matter Conversion Signals in Earth's Ionosphere
A study explored the potential of Earth's ionosphere as a medium to detect dark matter particles, specifically axions and dark photons. Researchers propose that these particles could convert into low-frequency radio waves within the ionosphere's plasma, creating detectable signals. By utilizing small, cost-effective dipole antennas, scientists aim ...

Antarctica’s Pyramid-Shaped Peak: A Geological Masterpiece
The pyramid-shaped mountain in Antarctica’s Ellsworth Mountains has captivated imaginations with its near-perfect symmetry. While conspiracy theories suggest ties to ancient civilizations or extraterrestrial construction, scientists explain the peak’s geometry as a result of freeze-thaw erosion over millions of years. This process has sculpted ...

Skull Found in Turkey Identified as 11-Year-Old Boy, Not Cleopatra's Sister Arsinoë IV
The skull discovered in 1929 at the Octagon building in Ephesus has been identified as that of an 11-year-old boy, debunking theories linking it to Cleopatra’s half-sister, Arsinoë IV. Published in Scientific Reports, the findings used DNA analysis and CT scans to confirm the boy’s age and gender, ruling out Arsinoë as a candidate. Anomalies ...

Human Hunting More Responsible for Kangaroo Extinction than Climate Change
A recent study of ancient kangaroo teeth contradicts previous beliefs that climate change caused their extinction. By examining the wear on teeth, researchers found that kangaroos had flexible diets, which made them resilient to climate shifts. This evidence suggests that human hunting activities, rather than dietary limitations, played a more sign...

Ancient Geological Hotspot Linked to Great Lakes' Depth and Formation
New research reveals an ancient geological hotspot influenced the Great Lakes' formation millions of years ago. As North America drifted over this hotspot, the lithosphere weakened, enabling glacial forces during the Ice Age to carve the deep depressions of these massive lakes. Seismic data supports this theory, showing unusual wave movements benea...

New "Kiss-and-Capture" Theory Explains Pluto's Formation of Largest Moon, Charon
A new theory proposes that Pluto’s largest moon, Charon, was formed billions of years ago through a rare "kiss-and-capture" collision in the Kuiper Belt. This process involves two icy bodies briefly merging and then separating, leaving Charon in a stable orbit around Pluto. Unlike traditional collision models, this event challenges previous theor...

Is the Wheel of Ghosts an Ancient Observatory? New Study Suggests Otherwise
The ancient Rujm el-Hiri site, known as the "Wheel of Ghosts," has long been thought to serve as an astronomical observatory. However, a recent study published in Remote Sensing raises questions about this theory, suggesting that geodynamic changes over millions of years have altered its alignment. Researchers from Tel Aviv University and Ben-Gurio...

Scientists Investigate Hypernuclei To Understand Subatomic Forces and Neutron Stars
A groundbreaking study on hypernuclei, led by Ulf-G. Meißner from the Institute for Advanced Simulation, uses nuclear lattice effective field theory to explore the interactions of Λ-hyperons within atomic nuclei. The research, published in The European Physical Journal A, provides key insights into the forces that shape hypernuclei and their pote...

Search for Elusive Missing Link Black Holes Continues as Omega Centauri Observation Turns Out to Be a Dud
The suspected intermediate-mass black hole in Omega Centauri has been reclassified as a cluster of stellar-mass black holes, according to a recent study. Unusual star movements within the dense cluster were explained using pulsar data, providing new insights into its core dynamics. This discovery reshapes theories about the elusive intermediate-mas...
